The Cutting Cafe' - Mikala Ann being a good witch

Hi everyone! Oh my gosh, I am soooooo enjoying my long weekend! One more day to go! I made another book card today (to learn how to make it, just click on my tutorial tab above), and this one is a fun one featuring Mikala Ann from the set Elisha Jean and friends being good witches from The Cutting Cafe'! Isn't she soooo adorable????!

Her dress and hat is one of her accessory items. I colored her with Copic markers and then added some polka dots with a black Spice pen. LOVE her green and purple striped stockings!! LOL! The tree is cut using the Expression and Gypsyfrom the Mini Monsters cartridge (now just 19.99 over at Hallmark Scrapbook!!!) . I used the "out of the box" technique to cut Mikala Ann out with circle Nesties.

Those cute bats you see are one of my very favorite Halloween images EVER! LOL! It's a Magnolia image I got from Diana over atMagnolia-licious!! I use this little bat on EVERYTHING I make for Halloween. I can't help it...it's just that crazed look he's got in his eyes. heehee

This card looks like a book from the outside, and then when you untie the yummy silk ribbon and open it up, there's a frame inside that can hold just about anything you want it to. I put some See's candy lollipops in this one. I had to cut part of the stick off for them to fit, but I like the way it turned out! Because there's no place to write a personal note on the inside of this card, I added a pocket and tag on the left. The spider web was also cut from Mini Monsters. There's another one of those cute bats and then the two jack-o-lanterns are also from Magnolia-licious.

The papers I used are by jillibean soup called Monster Stew. The tag was cut with the Expression from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. The busted up fence and drippy goo borders on the frame are both Martha Stewart border punches.

So that's it for me today! I had a lot of fun creating this one! Again, if you'd like to know how to create this book card, just click on my tutorial page above. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
